This Hostel is super close to everything. It’s about 350 m from the metro station at the center of town.. that makes it a one line 7 stop ride from the airport, which is great. It also puts it at the center all the tourist attractions. The only downsides are: the rooms are a little cramped, and the building can get heated up if it’s a hot day outside (I was there in September so just opening the window fix the problem, but I could see that during the heat of the summer it could be a bigger issue). I liked it a lot. I’m going back.

We arrived on a Friday about 4 and the bar area was already busy. The bar games were great and we enjoyed meeting other travellers. The room was small, but had everything you need. It did get very warm and due to how busy the area is it was quite noisy outside so we needed to keep the windows closed. Overall we loved the hotel and look forward to staying at others across Europe.

Dirty dirty dirty .... from the moment you walk in .... both elevators are filthy and havent been mopped out for months ... the carpets in the halls are disgusting and do not even seem to be vacuumed daily .... the room was serviced in 30 seconds by a person emptying the trash and flushing the toilet .... no cleaning of the toilet area or mopping out the shower .... no towel, no soap in shower, no free luggage storage .... this place charges for everything and doesnt even spend money on cleaning.... they just figure young people wont care and they pocket the extra profits ... worst hostel i have stayed at for a long time .... will avoid their company wherever i go.

We flew for more than 10 hours and finally arrived in this hotel. We were given the room with two bunk beds. I remember I reserved and paid for one full bed and one bunk bed. Since there is no phone in the room, we have to go back to the front desk to ask about the reason. They found out that in Expedia it was reserved as one full bed and one bunk bed. However, it was showed in their system that only two bunk beds room was reserved. They guess there must be glitch between the two systems, which the hotel and Expedia need to solve. Unfortunately, there is no room with full bed available that day. So we agree to keep the current room. Hotel is good to give us two days breakfast and some shampoo, conditioner as compensation. At least, it makes us feel better after long flight. However, we still hope Expedia can follow up on this issue. It did bring inconvenience for us.
